[–] TheFallingStar@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It needs to be able to play games like RE4 remake

[–] Ok-Stuff-8803@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Was this worth a post?
A new apple tv just sticking in a new chip, MAY be lower in price.... Let us all rush and buy it, lol.

[–] TechnicaVivunt@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Just please please please give it AV1 decode…

Just saved you 2 minutes of your life.

Lower price, newer chip, a tad bit smaller, a nice bit lighter.

“The thinnest, lightest, aloooooomin-yum apple tee-vee that we’ve ever produced”

Sigh. They could own the living room if they wanted. Add some actual new features!

[–] KyleMcMahon@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

A lower price is not a feature lol

[–] PFeezzy@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Gimme that hardware ray tracing!

[–] AstronautThick5598@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Is this article off or something? USB C on the remote and HDR10+ are already there.

Is this the most usless Apple product to upgrade?

I'm with a first generation Apple tv 4k and I don't see any real reason to upgrade.

I literally just bought a 3rd gen 4k, which is probably why this post got suggested to me. Did I fuck up by not waiting?

I honestly think the Apple TV would just do better if it only cost $99.

Audio passthrough and I am in. Why can’t Apple do this?

[–] AlexCarterCommentary@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I bought my first Apple TV last year, sounds like I’ll be keeping it for a long time.

Apple TV Pro with M3 for gaming🙏🏻

[–] 0000GKP@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I bought my first one in 2012 and replaced it in 2020. I still have several years to go on this one.

[–] FiveJobs@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

went from apple TV to apple TV 4K but don't use it anymore just use the TV app.

I’ll only get a new apple tv once they get trueHD support, otherwise I’ll stick with my 2nd gen 4k

[–] Takeabyte@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Wtf are you talking about? Apple Lossless(literally in the name), FLAC (L stands for lossless), AIFF (the format CDs use), and WAV are literally lossless formats.

[–] bzr@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Wooooopty doo. I just bought one and presumed this article was going to say something not obvious

[–] wiggum55555@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (9 children)

I use my 2022 4K ATV everyday and there's not a lot more I want/need it do really.

Audio pass-through for Plex would be nice.

Just sounds like they're switching to whatever chip they make the most of

[–] Gasarakiiii@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Sounds like chip refresh, be interesting to see if the price actually does come down, but I already have 5 of them so not getting anymore anytime soon lol.

[–] Koleckai@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Not really anything to get excited about. A faster CPU isn't going to really improve streaming much. It could enable gaming but that seems like it is premature without any game announcements. Will wait for any official announcement.

I love my 2022 model

[–] the5issilent@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I really only want AV1 support and I’m set. It’s the only reason I would go to new hardware from my current 4K.

[–] Ekalet@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Apple TV needs audio capabilities to 192/24

[–] garylapointe@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (4 children)

This isn't very analytical stuff:

Faster chip? That's unheard of in a new model!
Lower price? They did it last time, maybe they can do it again if they strip out a thing or two...
Similar design? It's been pretty much the same for the last 13 years, not a shocker.

That said, other than saving $20, there aren't any listed reasons for a new one. Did I miss some actual "features?"

[–] unfunfionn@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It's a corporate fan fiction site.

Maybe they’ll add some shielding to stop all the signal issues.

[–] Macaroon-Upstairs@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They need WiFi 6E to make me consider upgrading.

So not much. Hdr10+ and faster switching between add and hdr would get me to upgrade from. 2nd gen atv

[–] fegodev@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Apple needs to bring serious gaming to the Apple TV, way more storage, and release an Apple gaming controller.

Are they finally going to fix the flickering introduced with iOS 14?

[–] Sobehall@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Still gonna have wonky controllers that disconnect or what?

[–] Pugneta@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

My 4k Apple TV is the worst piece of tech I’ve bought in the last 10 years. Would buy again.

[–] DasKraut37@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Please tell me it has audio pass-through… 🤞

How about Screen Time? Is it so difficult?

Sub $100 price point is the only important thing here. If they can bring their top of the line streamer below $100 then maybe they can really start making waves in the streaming-device market. Maybe then, Netflix will finally integrate properly.

[–] padmepounder@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Doubt it will happen because Apple’s ATV+ is a “competitor”

They need to add GeForce now

[–] potatosokawaii@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I don’t understand you guys in the comments. It’s really cheap yet you guys are complaining as if it’s a 1000 dollars+ tech that can do everything lmao.

[–] MrBob161@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I'm still on a 2017 apple 4ktv. Not a bad thing I haven't felt the need to upgrade. I might finally upgrade to this 2024 model.

[–] deejaystu1@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

If the 2024 ATV implements the three things below, they will takeover the stream box market:

Support for Dolby True HD and DTS MA Audio Codecs
Ability to host Plex server locally
Upgrade DAC processing to support 48/192
